New York roots, Miami conviction — a new-development and waterfront advisor who treats every purchase as a decision about buildings, lines and timing, not listings.
Benjamin Malayev came to Miami the way many of his clients do — from New York, with a clear idea of what a building should deliver and very little patience for guesswork. That perspective is now his practice: for more than four years with HL Real Estate Group he has advised buyers moving capital and family life from the Northeast into Miami's luxury market, with a focus on Edgewater, Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura, Brickell and Miami Beach.
His core work is new-development buyer advisory: comparing projects on pricing, floor plans, deposit structure, delivery risk and developer track record before a client ever walks into a sales gallery. He is currently advising buyers across projects including Bentley Residences in Sunny Isles Beach, Cipriani Residences and the St. Regis Residences in Brickell, and Mercedes-Benz Places — and is candid about which line in which tower he would buy, and which he would not.
Benjamin works in English, Hebrew, Russian and Spanish — a practical advantage in a market where buyers arrive from everywhere and sellers negotiate in their own language.
Benjamin is backed by two decades of relationships — media reach, developer access, market intelligence and the broader Haute luxury network.
Direct developer relationships across South Florida's significant new developments — allocations, releases and terms before they circulate.

“The car gallery in the sky gets the headlines, but the buy is the oceanfront line pricing against Bal Harbour comparables.”
“The strongest brand-to-price ratio in Brickell right now — residences from $1.6M with a hospitality operation that actually has heritage.”
“An attainable entry into Brickell's new-development wave — and the project I'm watching most closely on delivery execution.”
